OMGosh!! I just LOOOOVE the color combo today!! Burmuda Bay, Real Red, and Kraft. Why haven't I used this already?? Oh yeah, I was in a stamping slump and barely stamped with any combos! LOL
This was also made for Mothermark's teaparty, which I haven't been to for a LONG time! My story is... I don't have a story. It's after 1:30, my creative brain is done. I just used the teapot fish theme, and I punched a tiny red heart for the "lips" on my fishies.
EDITED: I guess the link for the technique does not work for some.... so I hope it is ok to post the directions here. This comes from flowerbugnd1's technique card:
Directions on the Tech card read:
Emboss a piece of card stock using an embossing folder & a die cut machine like the Big Shot. Before removing from the folder, rub the side of a crayon over the embossed, raised image. Use a white or dark crayon, or even a shimmer crayon. Remove from the folder & sponge Classic ink over the entire area.
I have only tried glossy cs for this technique, and it works great. (perfect to find a use for it too, since I don't use it much!)
This card will be given to my son's gf for her graduation.
TFL!

Oh, Kris, how incredibly CUTE!! Love your sweet fishies with their red lips and those darling splashes of water. Thanks for explaining how you did the embossed bg, too.

Soooo cute birthday card! I love the little fishies you used. I have them stashed away underneath alot of others and plainly forgot to use them. Sweet cb bubbles too. Great take on the CC to Kris. TFS

This is definitely a WOW! Thanks for sharing that technique. Your use of the glossy paper really makes it look like water. And I agree that this is a great color combo to work with. Wonderfully done!
